Pentax cameras are smaller. What sense does it make for a 35mm camera like the
Nikon F5 to be as big, as heavy, and as expensive as a medium format camera?
The best Pentax camera is the professional LX with its near perfect metering
system. If ever you use it you may easily become addicted. The solid and compact
MZ-S seems to be very well-made, too, and it has a concept that none of the
competition offers. A lot of Pentax lenses are really good. Most Pentax primes
and some zooms are sharp, offer the best coatings, and very beautiful bokeh. K,
M, A*, F*, FA*, and Limited series lenses offer very good mechanics, too.
Compare a cheap (most Pentax lenses are cheaper, too) used SMC Pentax-M 1:1.4
50mm lens to the N. or M. equivalents, and you will know. Finally: Pentax is
different, and so are its users.
